Calico and Ivy in Balmain

On my last stroll through Balmain I came across a cute little fabric store called Calico and Ivy. I always buy way too much fabric and this store was no exception. On my first visit I bought very beautiful french linen there that I now use a lot for my photos. The other time I bought fat quarters to make leaves on wires to wrap around presents. It's a charming little shop and every time I am in Balmain I make sure I stop by even if it means I'll buy even more fabric I probably don't need (but then you'll never know:-). In case you end up with too much fabric and never get around to make anything they also offer classes and Cath from Prints Charming also taught embroidery there.

I actually attempted to clean out my fabric collection over the Christmas break. I think I threw out one piece. Fail! This shop looks so sweet, I particuarly love the ribbon on the old vintage shelves. So sweet!

Kristin in short

Having started with an internship at "FürSie" in 1996 my work (check my portfoliohere) in the world of food styling, recipe development and advertising for culinary delights has given me the opportunity to get to know and work with such people as Jamie Oliver, Neil Perry, Bill Granger , Peggy Porschen or Kylie Kwong. After spending wonderful and exciting years at Brigitte, I decided to leave German shores for Sydney - a truly marvelous place if you are a foodie like me.
